Frances
Sturtevant
a
grocer in London (formerly of Carlton-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire) traded to
Flanders [which is now in Belgium] and was married to Philipote the daughter
of Richard [Nicholas?]
Rogers
of Bruges, Flanders. Their daughter Jane,
who was born around 1582/3, became naturalised in England, where on 25
November 1600 she married Zaccheus
Isham
of Barby, Northamptonshire at
St.Olave Jewry, London.
The only other known connection
with Belgium is that Harry
Sturtivant
, who had lived in the Croydon,
Surrey area, became a golf professional and designed a golf course in Frensham
Park for Lord Pearson (of Pearson's Magazine), then took up a similar post at
Knocke, Belgium in 1911. He was called up into the British Army on the
outbreak of the First World War, so returned to England with his wife Florence
and two children Charles Stuart (born 1908) and Irene Peggy (born
1910).
The Mormon Family Search
website has the following entries. Beaver City seems an unlikely place name
for this part of the world. May be intended to be Furnes, which is nowadays in
Belgium. Perhaps they were of American origin as there is no evidence of any
of these persons in British records.
